3.0 BB-RX62N- H BOARD Programming
3.1 Programming options
BB-RX62N- H BOARD can be programmed using the
 USB bootloader
 Emulator (E1 Emulator) with CubeSuite+
 E1 Emulator with Renesas Flash Programmer
For programming using E1 Emulator with Renesas Flash Programmer, refer
Renesas Flash Programmer user manual
3.1.1 USB bootloader
The Bootloader enables the user to manage the erasing & programming of the RX62N FLASH memory,
and the execution of any downloaded application.
This is achieved by a basic 5 option menu that can be viewed in a terminal emulator program, such as
HyperTerminal.
The USB Function peripheral is used and is configured as CDC Class, thus making the USB Function
peripheral appear as a COM port on a PC.
**Please note that you will have to provide the CDC inf file for the PC, the first time the application is
run.**
** This is provided in the source code at the following location
.. \USB_Bootloader\USB_Bootloader\Host\Driver\ **
The basic operation of the Bootloader is detailed by the flow diagram in below figure.

User Manual: BB-RX62N-H
3.1.2 Flashing the board using USB
First load the Bootloader program using Emulator, Set the Boot mode select switch (J3) to 1100, If a
USB cable is connected to the RSK within 5 seconds of Power-On, the RX62N will enumerate with the
PC, configure the USB Function peripheral as a CDC Class device and then wait for a character to be
received on the USB Com port.
Open the hyper terminal as shown in the below image.
Fig.17
A ‘Connect To’ window opens where you have to select the COM port. In this example it is COM27.
Click OK. A ‘COM27 Properties’ window appears. Set the values as shown below. Click OK.
Note: Please check for your machines COM port number. The COM port number can be different.

Transfer the binary image file of the User Application to the RX62N and program the FLASH memory.
5. . . . . Start User Program
Allows the User to start execution of the User Application, if code is detected in the User Area
3.1.2.2 Transferring a file in Hyperterminal via XModem Protocol
For Bootloader menu options 1, 2, 3 & 5, the User only need to enter data via the keyboard responses.
Bootloader menu option 4 requires data from the keyboard and then for data to be transmitted via the
XModem protocol.
15
www.ngxtechnologies.com
User Manual: BB-RX62N-H
When using Hyperterminal, this is achieved by the Transfer menu option.
Fig. 21
When Option 4 is entered, the User will be prompted to enter the address to program code to, followed
by a prompt to confirm the programming process.
Fig. 22
When “Start XModem Download…” is displayed, select “Send File” from the “Transfer” menu option

4.4 Creating a Bootloader Compliant Application
The Bootloader application allows a user to easily program a User Application into the RX62N.
However, this User Application has to be developed with the following constraints.
a) Reduced Code Space
b) Interrupt handling of the fixed vector table
The Bootloader expects the User Application to provide ISR handlers for the
Privileged Instruction Exception,
Undefined Instruction Exception,
Floating Point Exception,
NMI Exception,
at specific addresses.
If not, then these Exceptions will not be handled correctly, causing the User Application to fail.
c) The output of the project has to be a binary file (.bin), not an absolute file (.abs)
The project TestCode supplied with the source code download shows how to create a Bootloader
compliant application.
The Reduced Code Space is handled by the linker settings.
As the Bootloader uses FLASH blocks, the first available address for the User App is H’FFF88000.
It is at this address that the Bootloader expects the Fixed Vector Table to be located.
This can be seen in the Link Options Section dialogue, at address 0xFFF88000 FIXEDVECT.
Right click on Build Tool and select Property, click on Link Options then modify the FIXEDVECT
address as shown in below image.
